I needed a pair of longer fitted denim shorts so before throwing out a great pair of Japanese stretch denims, I cut them and made them relevant again. As for the sandals, that was the only "for looks" portion of the outfit. I don't wear heels that much anymore (winds of change, you know?) But I didn't want to bore with the same.old.white.oxfords that I usually wear so I threw those on instead.

These sandals are wonderful but sadly, no longer serve a purpose for me.

With some real estate opening up shortly in my closet, I plan on moving in a long awaited diverse collection of flats.

With this chambray and denim duo though - I have found another fabulous uniform. Great with safari-like accessories and some classic wayfarers and most importantly,

LOVE classic and understated looks like this. I was glad to hear your recent movement toward wearing flats. I always thought flats were boring but since moving to NYC a few years ago, turning 40 and becoming a new mommy I find I heardly ever wear heels anymore. Flats are functional and stylish for my lifestyle. Btw, I would not have been mad at you for putting on the oxfords. They are too cute :)

Love it! I too find myself wearing flats more often and thanks to your blog and others I started wearing oxfords, the best of both worlds. I have a pair of grey/yellow Cole Haan gramercy oxfords today, they are very comfortable.

I'm right there with you on the wardrobe revamp...especially the part about the high heel to flats conversion. I've accepted the fact that I mostly wear flats due to my commuting/walking lifestyle. Hate to give 'em up but some lucky girl will have lots of fun with them I'm sure and I'll feel less guilty with hoarding shoes I never wear, happy with my ease of mobility and much needed shoe space!!

I understand the closet revamp. I'm doing the same as well. It's more important to me to dress for my body shape than to necessary following trends. Your shoes are to die for. I wore flat all last year but I miss the height from my heels. I'm only five feet tall lol!
